Medway Renaissance

Gillingham Town Centre Development Framework

Consultants Barton Willmore along with Medway Council have developed the Gillingham Town Centre Development Framework for making central Gillingham vibrant and viable by exploiting its strengths and addressing its weaknesses - in particular, the scattered layout of its long high street.

It is a vital step towards the future successful regeneration of Gillingham.
